I was fortunate to participate in the central route, which took us through central Eastern states -- Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. click here to read more 2005-10-05 http://bringthemhomenowtour.org/article.php?id=238 2005-10-05 http://bringthemhomenowtour.org/article.php?id=236 2005-09-24 http://bringthemhomenowtour.org/downloads/AFI924.pdf 2005-09-23 http://bringthemhomenowtour.org/article.php?id=231 2005-09-23 http://bringthemhomenowtour.org/article.php?id=234 My step-son Alexander was killed in Najaf, Iraq on 5/25/04. It was my husband Carlos' birthday. When he received the news, he wanted the Marines to leave. He, in his anguish, burned the Marine's van. Our whole family supported Alex' efforts.

Everyone has the right to learn from their mistakes and grow as individuals.click here to read more 2005-09-23 http://bringthemhomenowtour.org/downloads/VigilRelease.pdf 2005-09-23 http://bringthemhomenowtour.org/article.php?id=220 2005-09-22 http://bringthemhomenowtour.org/article.php?id=221 2005-09-22 http://bringthemhomenowtour.org/article.php?id=223 2005-09-22 http://bringthemhomenowtour.org/article.php?id=228 Somewhere along the New York State Thruway, as the “Bring Them Home Now Tour” bus (in truth, a mid-sized RV) rumbled eastward towards Syracuse, I asked Al Zappala if he would mind answering a personal question. “How do you get up in front of a crowd twice a day and bare your soul about the death of your son; talking and crying publicly about how he was killed in Iraq for a lie? And then do the same thing all over again the next day?” The Gold Star Families for Peace member responded in his quiet manner that the story needed to be told, and added that, “I think it’s somehow healing for me…a way to grieve his loss.”click here to read more 2005-09-22 http://bringthemhomenowtour.org/article.php?id=230 While we were visiting the offices of our elected representatives today, I walked by Joe Lieberman (D-CT) in the hallway. He was doing a photo shoot – I told his assistants that I needed to talk to him, that I would be happy to wait – and that I didn’t want a picture with him. His assistant thought she was going to intimidate me and get me to leave – little did she know we’re on a mission to end this war. click here to read more 2005-09-22 http://bringthemhomenowtour.org/article.php?id=232 2005-09-22 http://bringthemhomenowtour.org/article.php?id=233 2005-09-22
